Welcome! I’m so glad you are here. You want to feel more in control of your life, connected and confident. You might be feeling lost and overwhelmed with day to day work or home tasks. Therapy can offer quick improvements in well-being and functionality. Issues such as eating disorders, depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma and parenting struggles can be effectively addressed with a well-defined plan. Relief and recovery are truly attainable with proper focus and the use of effective coping strategies. You want to feel better so that you can fully engage in life and I can help you do that.
With over two decades of experience treating eating disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, chronic health conditions and parenting struggles, I am well-equipped to help you regain equilibrium and accomplish your goals. I have specialized training in family based treatment for eating disorders and also utilize cognitive behavioral therapy.
I truly get how difficult it is to live with mental health struggles. You don’t have to go through this alone. I deeply respect anyone who engages in the therapy process. Confronting issues is challenging and I am here to support you every step of the way. Reach out today for a free consultation.
